Morphology

Formally derived from 'populate', but the computing sense 'filled with data' is a domain-specific metaphor that may not be immediately obvious to all learners.

Etymology

Populated keeps the same idea of 'filled' but with information instead of people, like a town full of residents and a form full of data. So in computing a 'populated' field is one that already has information and is not empty.
